2 Chronicles2:6
6 But who is able to build him an house, seeing the heaven, and the heaven of heavens cannot contain him ? who am I then that I should build him an house, save onely to burn sacrifice before him .
When I speak of building a great House for our great God, let none be so foolish to think that I mean to include or comprehend God within it, for he is Infinite.
i. e. To worship him there where he is graciously present.
